As At 18/03/2000.
(Note on the origins of this document which was Supplied by Edward (Deke) KEASBEY to Ronald Rodger CASEBY on 03/03/2000 along with his Handwritten Family Tree Chart of the contents plus recent additions. Deke said in his note that this draft document had been prepared many years before, possibly after 1966, by a professional Genealogist but that the task had never been completed as far as he knew. The writer refers to "The Family Bible" and "Wills" as well as to other book sources such as the work of "Shrouds". Basically, the main sources are original family ones.)
EDWARD KEASBEY, first of the Keasbey family in this country, reportedly emigrated from Gloucestershire, England about the year 1694 and settled in the town of New Salem, New Jersey, then part of Fenwick Settlement.
The founder of the Salem colony was John Fenwick. In 1675 he sailed on the Griffin. Among the Quaker companions on the Griffin were John Smith, his wife, and Isaac Smart. In 1677 John and Andrew Thompson, each with wife and children, sailed from Ireland in the ship Mary of Dublin. Edward Bradway came with wife and two children in an unnamed ship in 1677.
Edward Keasbey brought neither wife, nor children, nor the traditional brother. He was then a young man and had probably become an Elder of the Society of Friends before leaving England and had come to this country in order to avoid religious persecution. Soon after his arrival we find him taking an active part in the affairs and religious meetings of the society. One of the earliest records bearing his name is of a Friends Meeting in 1698 when he subscribed £5 (five pounds) towards the erection of a brick Meeting House (completed in 1701).
In 1701 Edward married. Elizabeth, widow of Isaac Smart, daughter of Andrew and. Elizabeth (Marshill) Thompson. Elizabeth was born near Dublin, Ireland, in 1666 and came to America with her parents in 1677. In 1683 she married Isaac Smart and they had six children. Her husband Isaac died in 1700,
Edward and Elizabeth had four children; Mary, Edward, Matthew and Susannah. Edward Keasbey made his will on August 13, 1712. He gave his son Edward his plantation, his son Matthew £75 (seventy five pounds), his wife to have his plantation until his son Edward was twenty-one. To Hugh Middleton, whom he appointed tutor to his children and overseer of his plantation he left £5 (five pounds). The remainder of his property was to be divided between his wife and son Matthew. There is no mention of his daughters, they must have died before him. Elizabeth, his widow was reported married to Henry Wamsley in 1713.
Matthew Keasbey was born in 1706. He married and had four children, Sarah, Mary, Elizabeth and John. Tradition says that he built the old brick house on Broadway which afterwards belonged to Jesse Keasbey. In 1737 Matthew made his will leaving a house and lot to son John at age 20; his wife Sarah to have the benefit thereof; and a lot to daughter Mary when 18. His other two daughters must have died in childhood which was common in those times. Sarah Keasbey, his widow, was reported married to Thomas Rice in 1739. There is no further record of this branch of the family. It is likely they died early.
Edward Keasbey was born in 1705. He married Elizabeth Bradway,
daughter of William Bradway, in 1725. They had three children; Edward, Mary and Bradway. Edward and his brother Matthew were apparently quite close. In 1729 Edward deeded land he inherited to Matthew. In 1733 he named Matthew as executor of his will and made him heir in case of the death of his sons. There is no wife or daughter mentioned, he must have survived them. Edward divided his estate between his sons Edward and Bradway and provided that the income from the real estate be used for maintaining his sons until of age. Thomas Rice, husband. of the late Matthew's widow Sarah, was named guardian of Edward in 1740. Bradway's Uncle Jonathan was named his guardian in 1744. The inventory of Edward's estate included £452 (four hundred-fifty two pounds), parcel of bricks, one hundred and twenty oxen, seventeen cows, nine yearling, four doe, and thirty sheep and. nineteen acres of wheat. He must have made some considerable money in his short life as there are several deeds of property he bought. He also built on the property a large brick house in which descendants lived for more than a century and which his great-great-grandson Edward rebuilt in 1843.
BRADWAY BRANCH.
Bradway, son of Edward arid Elizabeth Bradway was born in 1730. In 1757 he sold the land in Salem that he inherited from his father to his brother Edward for £163 (one hundred sixty three pounds). Bradway married Prudence Sayre in 1755. They had two children: Elizabeth and Edward. In 1763 Bradway married Jane Waddington, presumably his first wife died. Bradway and Jane had one child Sarah. In 1782 Bradway made his will leaving his wife Jane £200 (two hundred pounds). To his daughter Elizabeth Sayre he left one hundred pounds. To his three grandchildren £100 (one hundred. Pounds) each when of age. He left land to his daughter Sarah. The will was proved in 1785. An inventory of Bradway's personal estate was set at slightly over £2,000 (two thousand pounds). Sara married John Pancoast from Gloucester county. They lived for a short time on her property that was willed to her by her father. They, however, in a few years sold it to Samuel Pancoast and purchased a farm on the north side of Alloway's Creek. Elizabeth married Samuel Fogg.
Edward, son of Bradway and Prudence, was born in 1760. He married Lydia Carll and they had six children: Sarah, Joseph, Prudence, Grace, Elizabeth, and Edward. Edward wrote two wills in 1805. He left his wife three hundred dollars. To his son Joseph he leaves part of his plantation, ten acres of meadow and a horse and steers. To his son Edward, the remainder of his plantation and a tract of woodland. He left land to his four daughters when of age.
Lydia Keasbey, widow of Edward died in 1814 leaving her personal estate to her four daughters Prudence Waddington, Sarah, Grace and Elizabeth Keasbey. She left land to son Edward. and a silver watch. Edward Waddington named guardian of Edward until age fourteen.
Joseph, son of Edward and Lydia married. Hannah Stretch. Soon after coming of age purchased land in Elinsborough being part of the Norris estate bordering Alloway's Creek. He lived but a short time afterwards dying in 1814 with typhus fever which was prevalent and very mortal about that time. He left a will leaving most of his plantation to his wife Hannah. He left his brother Edward the land willed to him by his father. Joseph's widow Hannah married Andrew Smith within a year.
Prudence, daughter of Edward and Lydia married Edward Waddington. In 1815, Sarah married his brother Aaron. Grace married Rueben Dare and Elizabeth youngest daughter of Edward and Lydia married William Plummer.
Edward, son of Edward and Lydia, died nine years later in 1823 without a will. included in the inventory of 0a11 the goods and chattles, rights and credits" was the silver watch willed to him by his mother. With Edward's death, the Bradway branch of the Keasbey Family tree terminated.
RETURN TO THE TRUNK OF THE TREE
Edward Keasbey III, son of Edward Keasbey II and Elizabeth Bradway was born 1726 in Salem and became one of the most prominent men of his time. His name was first on the list of patriots proscribed in the proclamation of 1778 by Colonel Mawhood of the British Expeditionary Force , which was rejected for the patriots by Colonel Hand. Edward served as Representative of Salem and Cumberland counties in the General Assembly from 1763 to 1769.

He practiced medicine in Canton working on small pox. In 1817 he took a second voyage to China on the same ship. While in China reportedly Dr. Keasbey performed an operation on the son of the Emperor - what modern medicine would amount to appendectomy. In a token of gratitude, the Emperor gave Dr. Keasbey a set of Canton china which is presently on display in the St Johns Episcopal Church in Salem having been donated by Howard Buzby Keasbey, grandson of Dr. Keasbey's brother Matthew.

Henry was rewarded, on graduation, with a trip to New Orleans on one of the picturesque Mississippi riverboats of that era.

As At 18/03/2000.
(Note on the origins of this document which was Supplied by Edward (Deke) KEASBEY to Ronald Rodger CASEBY on 03/03/2000 along with his Handwritten Family Tree Chart of the contents plus recent additions. Deke said in his note that this draft document had been prepared many years before, possibly after 1966, by a professional Genealogist but that the task had never been completed as far as he knew. The writer refers to "The Family Bible" and "Wills" as well as to other book sources such as the work of "Shrouds". Basically, the main sources are original family ones.)
EDWARD KEASBEY, first of the Keasbey family in this country, reportedly emigrated from Gloucestershire, England about the year 1694 and settled in the town of New Salem, New Jersey, then part of Fenwick Settlement.
The founder of the Salem colony was John Fenwick. In 1675 he sailed on the Griffin. Among the Quaker companions on the Griffin were John Smith, his wife, and Isaac Smart. In 1677 John and Andrew Thompson, each with wife and children, sailed from Ireland in the ship Mary of Dublin. Edward Bradway came with wife and two children in an unnamed ship in 1677.
Edward Keasbey brought neither wife, nor children, nor the traditional brother. He was then a young man and had probably become an Elder of the Society of Friends before leaving England and had come to this country in order to avoid religious persecution. Soon after his arrival we find him taking an active part in the affairs and religious meetings of the society. One of the earliest records bearing his name is of a Friends Meeting in 1698 when he subscribed £5 (five pounds) towards the erection of a brick Meeting House (completed in 1701).
In 1701 Edward married. Elizabeth, widow of Isaac Smart, daughter of Andrew and. Elizabeth (Marshill) Thompson. Elizabeth was born near Dublin, Ireland, in 1666 and came to America with her parents in 1677. In 1683 she married Isaac Smart and they had six children. Her husband Isaac died in 1700,
Edward and Elizabeth had four children; Mary, Edward, Matthew and Susannah. Edward Keasbey made his will on August 13, 1712. He gave his son Edward his plantation, his son Matthew £75 (seventy five pounds), his wife to have his plantation until his son Edward was twenty-one. To Hugh Middleton, whom he appointed tutor to his children and overseer of his plantation he left £5 (five pounds). The remainder of his property was to be divided between his wife and son Matthew. There is no mention of his daughters, they must have died before him. Elizabeth, his widow was reported married to Henry Wamsley in 1713.
Matthew Keasbey was born in 1706. He married and had four children, Sarah, Mary, Elizabeth and John. Tradition says that he built the old brick house on Broadway which afterwards belonged to Jesse Keasbey. In 1737 Matthew made his will leaving a house and lot to son John at age 20; his wife Sarah to have the benefit thereof; and a lot to daughter Mary when 18. His other two daughters must have died in childhood which was common in those times. Sarah Keasbey, his widow, was reported married to Thomas Rice in 1739.

Edward Keasbey was born in 1705. He married Elizabeth Bradway,
daughter of William Bradway, in 1725. They had three children; Edward, Mary and Bradway. Edward and his brother Matthew were apparently quite close. In 1729 Edward deeded land he inherited to Matthew. In 1733 he named Matthew as executor of his will and made him heir in case of the death of his sons. There is no wife or daughter mentioned, he must have survived them. Edward divided his estate between his sons Edward and Bradway and provided that the income from the real estate be used for maintaining his sons until of age. Thomas Rice, husband. of the late Matthew's widow Sarah, was named guardian of Edward in 1740. Bradway's Uncle Jonathan was named his guardian in 1744. The inventory of Edward's estate included £452 (four hundred-fifty two pounds), parcel of bricks, one hundred and twenty oxen, seventeen cows, nine yearling, four doe, and thirty sheep and. nineteen acres of wheat. He must have made some considerable money in his short life as there are several deeds of property he bought.
